Answer
Join BD.

(i) From figure,
⇒ ∠BDA = 90° [Angle in semi-circle is a right angle.]
In △OAD,
OA = OD [Radius of same circle]
∠OAD = ∠ODA = x (let) [As angles opposite to equal side are equal]
In △OAD,
⇒ ∠OAD + ∠ODA + ∠AOD = 180° [Angle sum property of triangle]
⇒ x + x + 60° = 180°
⇒ 2x = 180° - 60°
⇒ 2x = 120°
⇒ x = = 60°.
From figure,
∠ODB = ∠BDA - ∠ADO = 90° - 60° = 30°.
Given, OD || BC
∠DBC = ∠ODB = 30° [Alternate angles are equal]
Hence, ∠DBC = 30°.
(ii) We know that,
Angle in a semi-circle is a right angle.
∴ ∠BDA = 90°.
Since,
∠OAD = ∠ODA = ∠AOD = 60°.
From figure,
⇒ ∠BDA = ∠ODA + ∠ODB
⇒ 90° = 60° + ∠ODB
⇒ ∠ODB = 90° - 60° = 30°.
Given,
OD || BC
∴ ∠DBC = ∠ODB = 30° [Alternate angles are equal].
Hence, ∠DBC = 30°.
(iii) From figure,
∠ABC = ∠ABD + ∠DBC = 30° + 30° = 60°.
Since, sum of opposite nagles in a cyclic quadrilateral = 180°.
∴ ∠ABC + ∠ADC = 180°
⇒ 60° + ∠ADC = 180°
⇒ ∠ADC = 120°.
Hence, ∠ADC = 120°.
